When the USPTO quits issuing patents on things that were state of the art in
1000 BP. Something that will occur only when one has to fluently read, write,
speak, and converse in 1000 languages, starting with A, and working up to
Zulu, before being allowed to examine patents to determine if the invention
should be granted a patent.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

It never ceases to amaze me how apple doesn't infringe hardware patents that
were out before apple started making phones but all its patents are valid and
infringed.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Er.
a) There's no such thing as a design patent in the UK. There are
"registered designs", which are similar. They are not patents, and the
invalidity requirements are not the same as for patents.
b) Apple *did* lose its registered design infringement case against Samsung in
the UK, in July of last year. It, and the subsequent appeal, were covered on
Groklaw in some depth.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
